Overview
Differential diagnosis
For large lesions consider invasion of the vagina by:
Malignant involvement of the vagina from metastatic spread is much more common, and except for isolated reports of metastases from extragenital cancers, the most common cause of metastatic disease is direct local invasion from the female urogenital tract. Therefore some authors state the diagnosis of primary vaginal carcinoma should be diagnosed only if other gynecologic malignancies have been excluded.
Other differential considerations include:
